Run Apple Software Update to combat Flashback

All Macalester Macintosh users are encouraged to run Software Update now, in order to avoid complications with Flashback.

The Flashback trojan is a Macintosh specific malware that exploits a security vulnerability in Java. Apple has released an update that will fix the security hole, as well as search for the malware and remove it.
